Cluster Error Messages

Chapter 3

This node was running different CM. Please Reboot.

• Description: VxVM supports clustering under the control of various cluster

managers. However, once a node joins the cluster under a particular cluster

manager, it cannot be restarted under a different cluster manager until it is

rebooted.

• Action: Reboot the host machine if the cluster must be started under a different

cluster manager.

Unable to add portal for cluster

• Description: vxconﬁgd was not able to create a portal for communication with the

vxconﬁgd on the other node. This may happen in a degraded system that is

experiencing shortages of system resources such as memory or ﬁle descriptors.

• Action: If the system does not appear to be degraded, stop and restart vxconﬁgd, and

try again.

Upgrade operation failed: Error in cluster processing

• Description: The cluster protocol upgrade must be done on the master. It cannot be

done from a slave node.

• Action: Retry the vxdctl upgrade command on the master node.

Upgrade operation failed: Retry rolling upgrade

• Description: No transactions should be in progress when an upgrade is tried.

• Action: Retry the upgrade at a later time.

Upgrade operation failed: Version out of range for at least one node

• Description: Before trying to upgrade a cluster by running vxdctl upgrade, all nodes

should be able to support the new protocol version. An upgrade can fail if at least one

of them does not support the new protocol version.

• Action: Make sure that the 3.5 package that supports the new protocol version is

installed on all nodes and retry the upgrade.

Version out of range for at least one node

• Description: One or more nodes in the cluster do not support the protocol version

that would result from a protocol upgrade.

• Action: Make sure that the latest version of VxVM is installed on all nodes in the

cluster.

Vol recovery in progress

• Description: A node that crashed attempted to rejoin the cluster before its DRL map

was merged into the recovery map.

• Action: Retry the join when the merge operation has completed.
